Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Switchable Liquid-filled Vibration Absorbing Mount to be used for supporting a power unit of an automobile or another vibrating body in a vibration preventing manner.
  • the liquid-filled vibration absorbing mount has been used as a mount for bearing the vibrating body such as an automotive engine in a manner to transmit of vibration to the vehicular body.
  • the switchable liquid-filled vibration absorbing mount of the prior art as disclosed in Unexamined Published Japanese Patent Application No. JP-A-1996-270718, has the following construction, as shown in Fig. 6.
  • This vibration absorbing device is constructed to comprise: a first rigid mounting fixture (101); a second rigid mounting fixture (102) formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape having a bottom portion positioned at a predetermined distance in the axial direction from the first mounting fixture (101); a vibration absorbing base (103) made of a rubbery elastomer and interposed between the first mounting fixture (101) and the second mounting fixture (102) for jointing the two mounting fixtures (101) and (102); a partition member (104), a first diaphragm (105) and a second diaphragm (106) arranged in series in the axial direction between the vibration absorbing base (103) and the second mounting fixture (102); a main liquid chamber (107) formed between the vibration absorbing base (103) and the partition member (104); an auxiliary liquid chamber (108) formed between the partition member (104) and the first diaphragm (105); an outer orifice (113) and an inner orifice (114) disposed in the partition member (104) for providing a communication between the main liquid chamber (107) and the auxiliary liquid
  • the first diaphragm (105) is moved against the biasing force of the bias means (127) to leave the partition member (104) thereby to provide the communication between the inner orifice (114) and the auxiliary liquid chamber (108).
  • the inner orifice (114) can be opened/closed so that the orifices individually coping with the two kinds of vibrations in different frequency ranges can be selectively employed.
  • the inner orifice (114) has a certain length to extend in the circumferential direction so that a liquid to flow in the inner orifice (114) is subjected to a flow resistance. As a result, the liquid becomes hard to flow in the inner orifice (114). Thus, the liquid flows in the outer orifice (113) so that a sufficient vibration attenuating effect cannot be obtained in the inner orifice (114).
  • the first diaphragm (105) is pushed at its central portion to the lower face of the partition member (104) through a push member (162) by the bias means (127). Specifically, the flat central portion of the first diaphragm (105) comes into abutment against the flat portion of the circumference of an opening (114a) of the inner orifice (114) on the side of the auxiliary liquid chamber (108) in the partition member (104) so that the inner orifice (114) is closed exclusively by such planar abutment.
  • the inner orifice (114) may not be sufficiently closed so that the stable vibration absorbing characteristics cannot be obtained.
  • the invention has been conceived in view of the description thus far made and contemplates to improve the aforementioned conventional liquid-filled vibration absorbing mount, in which the inner one of the two inner and outer orifices can be opened/closed to allow the orifices individually coping with the two vibrations of different frequency ranges such as the shaking vibrations and the idle vibrations to be selectively employed, especially the shape of the inner orifice and the shape of the first diaphragm for closing the inner orifice, thereby to solve the aforementioned problems, to exhibit the vibration attenuations effectively in the different frequency ranges and to hold the stable characteristics.
  • a switchable liquid-filled vibration absorbing mount comprising: a first mounting fixture; a second mounting fixture formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape; a vibration absorbing base jointing the two mounting fixtures; a partition member, a first diaphragm and a second diaphragm arranged in series between said second mounting fixture and said vibration absorbing base; a main liquid chamber and an auxiliary liquid chamber partitioned by said partition member; two outer and inner orifices and an inner diaphragm disposed for providing a communication between said two chambers; bias means for pushing said first diaphragm toward said partition member; a balance chamber formed between said first diaphragm and said second diaphragm; and a switching chamber formed between said second diaphragm and said second mounting fixture, wherein the improvement resides: in that said inner orifice is an opening extending in the axial direction through said partition member; in that said first diaphragm is provided at
  • the flat rubber face of the valve member belonging to the first diaphragm is biased by said bias means to confront the lower face of the circumference of the inner orifice thereby to hold said inner orifice in the closed state so that the vibration attenuations in the frequency range set for the outer orifice can be effected.
  • said valve member By introducing the vacuum into said switching chamber, moreover, said valve member is caused to leave the partition member (4) against the biasing force of said bias means thereby to open said inner orifice into its active state so that the vibration attenuations in the frequency range set for the inner orifice are effected while suppressing the liquid flow in the outer orifice.
  • valve member Since the protrusion of said valve member is fitted in the opening, on the other hand, said valve member can be prevented from being transversely displaced or going out of position, and the flat rubber face can confront the lower face of the circumference of the inner orifice of the partition member thereby to prevent the closed state from being slackened, as might otherwise be caused by the displacement of the inner orifice, to retain the sufficient closed state and to warrant the stable characteristics for a long time.
  • said second diaphragm preferably includes: an annular rubber portion fitted at its outer circumference in the inner circumference of said second mounting fixture; and a pushing auxiliary member jointed to the inner circumferential edge portion of said rubber portion for pushing the flat rubber face from the side of said balance chamber onto said partition member thereby to move said valve member up and down through said pushing auxiliary member.
  • said valve member can be stably supported by the second diaphragm through the pushing auxiliary member so that the inner orifice can be satisfactorily opened/closed by the valve member.
  • the aforementioned liquid-filled vibration absorbing mount is especially preferable to further comprise stopper means for regulating the downward movement of said pushing auxiliary member when the vacuum is introduced into said switching chamber, so that the protrusion of said valve member may not come out of said inner orifice at the time of introducing the vacuum into said switching chamber.
  • Said stopper means preferably includes a stopper portion made of rubber integrally with said rubber portion and disposed at the lower end portion of said pushing auxiliary member of said second diaphragm, so that said stopper portion may come into abutment against the bottom portion of said second mounting fixture at the time of introducing the vacuum into said switching chamber, thereby to regulate the downward movement of said pushing auxiliary member.
  • Said second diaphragm is preferred to have its rubber portion vulcanized and shaped so that it may take a shape between the shape at the time of introducing the atmospheric pressure into said switching chamber and the shape at the vacuum introducing time.
  • the change in the shape of the rubber portion, as caused by switching the opening/closing actions of the inner orifice can be minimized to improve the durability of the rubber portion.
  • the protrusion of said valve member is preferably tapered to converge and to have a root diameter substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the internal diameter of said inner orifice.
  • the protrusion performs a guide action while the valve member is moving upward to close, even if it grows slightly eccentric to or inclined from the inner orifice being opened.
  • the valve member can confront the partition member at a position substantially coaxial with the inner orifice, thereby to close the inner orifice reliably.
  • Said second mounting fixture can include: a cylindrical fixture vulcanized and adhered at its upper portion to said vibration absorbing base; and a bottom cylinder fixture having a bottom portion and caulked and fixed to the lower end portion of said cylindrical fixture.
  • Said second diaphragm is attached by press-fitting the outer circumference of said rubber portion including a reinforcing ring-shaped fixture in the cylindrical portion of said bottom cylinder member.
  • said partition member and said first diaphragm are individually caulked and fixed at their outer circumferential edge portions to the caulked and fixed portions between said cylindrical fixture and said bottom cylinder fixture.

  • the space between the second diaphragm (6) and the bottom portion (22) of the second mounting fixture (2) is provided for a switching chamber (10), into which the atmospheric pressure and the vacuum can be selectively introduced, as will be described in the following. Specifically, this switching chamber (10) is switched into the atmospheric pressure introduction state and the vacuum introduction state to change its volume by an external switching valve (although not shown) via a switching communicating tube (11).
  • the balance chamber (9) has an action to reduce the pressure difference between the auxiliary liquid chamber (8) and the switching chamber (10).

These water vents are sufficient if at least one is formed in the lowermost end in the mounted state whereas the other may take any position, and may have such a small diameter as to make it hard to admit muddy water. These water vents could also be exemplified by the air vent (23b) of the balance chamber (9).

This deformation causes the liquid in the main liquid chamber (7) to flow into and out of the auxiliary liquid chamber (8) through either the outer orifice (13) formed in the partition member (4) or the inner orifice (14) of the opening. Then, the vibrations are drastically attenuated by the individual resonating characteristics of the outer orifice (13) and the inner orifice (14).

  • the switching chamber (10) is evacuated so that the second diaphragm (6) is sucked together with the pushing auxiliary member (62) toward the bottom portion (22) of the second mounting fixture (2).
  • the second diaphragm (6) is moved downward together with the valve member (15) against the biasing force of the bias means (27) so that the flat rubber face (16) leaves the lower face of the partition member (4) to retain the clearance between the valve member (15) and the partition member (4) so that the inner orifice (14) is opened with respect to the auxiliary liquid chamber (8) to provide the communication between the main liquid chamber (7) and the auxiliary liquid chamber (8).
  • the inner orifice (14) has a larger sectional area and a shorter length of the liquid flow than those of the outer orifice (13) so that the liquid flows not through the outer orifice (13) but through the inner orifice (14) thereby to attenuate the vibrations, i.e., the idle vibrations effectively in the frequency range in which the attenuations are made effective by the inner orifice (14).
  • the one relatively large opening is formed as the inner orifice (14) and is opened/closed by the valve member (15). Unlike the annular orifice of the prior art having a considerable length, therefore, the inner orifice of the drastically large size and the short flow passage can be set to make the vibration attenuations more effective.

  • the inner one can be opened/closed to employ the orifices coping with the shaking vibrations and the idle vibrations selectively.
  • the inner orifice is formed of the opening so that it can be opened/closed by the valve member having the protrusion with this protrusion being fitted therein or in that opening. Without any trouble of slackening the close face due to the displacement, therefore, the sufficient closed state can be retained to hold the stable characteristics for a long time.
  • a switchable liquid-filled vibration absorbing mount which is caused to cope with the shaking vibrations and the idle vibrations by opening/closing orifices and which is enabled to hold the stable characteristics for a long time without being troubled by the slackness of the closed state even after the opening/closing actions are repeated.
